Introduction

Verse 1

The streets are filled with Christmas cheer

At least it's only once a year

Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows,

And carols ringing in my ear

I'm bundled up against the cold

Lines wherever gifts are sold

Each shop window displays a Christmas scene

For everybody young and old

Chorus

Icicles on eavestroughs and tinsel on the tree,

But it's a green Christmas for me

Verse 2

Couples skating on the pond [couples skating on the pond]

Makin' angels on the lawn [makin' angels on the lawn]

Five red mittens drying on the rad

And needles shedding tannenbaum

Chorus

Red bows on the railings and snowflakes on the ground,

But it's a green Christmas in this town

Bridge

Green, cos of everything I miss

All this mistletoe, no kiss

And with every Christmas wish

There would be no greater gift

Than to have this envy lift

Instrumental

Verse 3

(Fa la la la...) Carolers are at my door (Fa la la la...)

Don't wanna hear them anymore

Chorus

Stockings on the mantle

The snow's here everyday

But it's a green Christmas anyway

Red nose on the reindeer and tinsel on the tree

But it's a green Christmas for me

ENDING:

THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
